Founded in 2016, the nonprofit Caspian Policy Center focuses on economic, political, energy, and security issues in the Caspian region. Uzbekistan's ISRS, established in 1992 by a presidential decree, plays a key role in analyzing regional and global developments.
Last week, Eldor Aripov, ISRS Director, held meetings with leaders of prominent U.S. research groups in Washington. Discussions focused on Uzbekistan’s economic and structural reforms, which were noted as opportunities to expand American business presence in the country.
